In case you're not just being sarcastic, stuff like Ivar. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/ivar-cabinet-pine-40033763/

It looks really interesting from a technical standpoint. I really hope they manage to make meaningful progress. At the same time, it looks really challenging; not just because of technical implementation but collaboration. It's a pre

I got a second hand Prusa Mk3s about a year ago as my first printer, around 300 € perhaps. I'm still enjoying it a lot, even though I'm now eyeing one of their upcoming (more expensive) models. I think it depends mostly on how you

Not the one you're replying to, but I'd keep TTL high normally and lower it one TTL ahead of a planned change.

Do you have an image of the reversing portion? Any examples of pitfalls? On the face of it, it seems like you'd define paths and sweep profiles for the material to remove. Is the difficulty in defining the path of the reversing portion

build123d has constraints for avoiding math. I'm not familiar with the sketch constraints in FreeCAD though, how do they compare? https://build123d.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial_constrai...

Off the top of my head, in no particular order: As the sibling comment mentioned, the classic problem of chamfer/fillet. Inconvenient in OpenSCAD, trivial in build123d. There are various features I've missed: polylines with rounde

Despite being aware of its existence, I stuck with OpenSCAD out of habit. Only last week did I read through the documentation, and feel strongly that I've been missing out… it seems to solve all of my gripes with OpenSCAD. I'm exc

Shouldn't it be 1000/16 = 62.5? Impressive nonetheless, of course!

This is only the language for describing the volumes. That's not heavy, rather the importance is that you can express the ideas you want. The heavy lifting of rendering and computing how volumes interact etc is already implemented in n

That sounds like a nice improvement, just like many other aspects of jj! Tools should adapt to us and not the other way around, but if you are stuck with git, there's a slightly different workflow that supports your use case: detached

Fair enough. We use Dapper for a handful of performance-critical queries. But I wouldn't want to use it for the 99% where EF works well. Just like I wouldn't want to hand-roll assembly more than where it's really needed. And

Especially with the recent extension of STS release support from 18 to 24 months [1]. Previously, upgrading from an LTS version to the next major (STS) version meant the support window decreased by half a year, while now it would stay the

Are you referring to the change tracker? FYI you can have it skip tracking as the default (or per query), but when you actually want to make changes you better opt in with `.AsTracking()`. Anyway, I've used EF at work for about a decad

Me too! It was funny how little love it got given how well it worked. The only issues I came across were artificial blocks. Some programs would check the OS version and give an error just because. Even the MSN Messenger (also by Microsoft)

The article in general, and final paragraph in particular, reminded me of this essay: https://www.paulgraham.com/identity.html Edit: if the connection isn't clear, I mean the aspect of it being difficult to argue ratio

I'm impressed by your, and their, hearing comprehension here! Granted, English isn't my native language but even with concentration I struggle to hear what they say.

I use a fork [1] of Valetudo and it lets me do just this. I save one map per floor, then restore when carrying it between floors. One floor gets cleaned much more often, but so far I have preferred this over buying two robots. [1] https:&#

Came here to say the same thing: PaaS. Intriguing that none of the other 12 sibling comments mention this… each in their bubble I guess (including me). We use Azure App Service at my day job and it just works. Not multi-cloud obviously, but

I know things kind of derailed downthread from here, but I just have to add that your claim is either confusing or simply untrue. I visited a manufacturer of industrial laser welds [1], and they use 16 kWh lasers over reasonably small fiber

Counterpoint: open source software, of which there are many great works without anyone being forced or pressured into making it. There are many more ways of getting motivation than applying "some pressure". Indeed, people are inhe

I looked in the docs and thought I searched well enough, but evidently not. That looks great, thanks a lot!

It's interesting to read about Durable Objects. It strikes me as conceptually very similar to what's called Virtual Actors, or Grains specifically in Microsoft Orleans, even if the underlying infrastructure is quite different. See
